We offer a choice of rates and you are able to book with or without breakfast. Should you choose breakfast this is served between 8.30am and 9.30am (outside school holidays and weekends you may request breakfast from 7.30am by arrangement). We are able to cater for singles, couples or family groups and will do our best to make your stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

From fun on the beach to rollerskating to local animal parks and museums, Great Yarmouth has something for everyone. We are also close to the broads which can be explored on foot or for the budding sailor by hiring a boat. We have visited many of the attractions ourselves and are always happy to advise on which type of activities guest may like.
